Would be ahead of Godden for me slightly defo suits our style of play
Pace ? In football it isn’t always being able to sprint like a greyhound, it can be speed of mind, receiving ball to feet, up front leading the line and working the centre backs
Why? He’d be a decent backup option.
that model alone with no flexibility will get us relegated we will need some experienced heads in the champPartly agree, but if you want to work the centre backs, then pace is one thing they all hate. The best centre forwatd for doing it 'the Chris Martin' way is probably Giroud in the PL. I don't think he is a bad player, it's just that our 'model' is to have a sale value and there won't be one with him. I'd sooner go for a PL loan youngster, or an experienced player in their mid 20s, or a lower league promising player. Don't know who these players are, but if we don't do that and go for Chris Martin type, i'll bow to MR's judgement!!

I’ve been thinking for a while do SISU see the current crisis as an opportunity to get to the promised land of The Premier League as most other clubs struggle as a result of being straddled with unaffordable wages.
Hedge funds make most of their money by taking a punt on failing businesses. If it works great - if not move on to the next opportunity. On this basis I was surprised when they didn’t go for it when they first bought us.
Now would seem to be a good time to take that punt
Id make all the next three signings experienced Champ players.
Don’t know much about Martin though sounds the right sort from what others have said. Off to find a YouTube vid...
We have flexibility we could play 3-4-3, 5-3-2, traditional 4-4-2 or 4-3-4, I’m sure Robins will recruit with those options in mind, also it’s five subs this season so formations can and will change during games.that model alone with no flexibility will get us relegated we will need some experienced heads in the champ
Pessimistic ? Far from it mate it’s fact we need some experienced heads at the level the kids you just mentioned won’t get close to the first team & will probably be released end if contracts.Yes good players, so have we, our latest crop Boroughs, Eccles, and a couple more were members of a real successful under 18s group

Stop being pessimistic
He’s a local lad to me, used to play against him in youth leagues (I was a GK so hated playing against him), and been told by a closer than close family friend.
Has he officially uncoupled from Derby?
Yep, I realised that just after posting but couldn't be bothered to edit.I like it, but the pedant in me can't help but point out you should have said 'consciously uncoupled'

Jeezr 4-3-4,
We don't NEED a prolific goal scorer ofcourse it would be ideal, but Chaplin for Barnsley scored more than any Cardiff player. Looks where both teams finished. We need players like Ohare shipley Allen, Hilsner to all contribute and Godden and whoever our other striker we sign to do so also. If we can keep clean sheets then we instantly give ourselves a chance.We need a prolific goal scorer not a once a month goal scorer! I’ll pray tonight that this isn’t true, 2 goals at Hull says it all.
Very good points you've made there – hmmmWe don't NEED a prolific goal scorer ofcourse it would be ideal, but Chaplin for Barnsley scored more than any Cardiff player. Looks where both teams finished. We need players like Ohare shipley Allen, Hilsner to all contribute and Godden and whoever our other striker we sign to do so also. If we can keep clean sheets then we instantly give ourselves a chance.
We aren't going to afford a proven 20goal championship striker. It will either be someone young, unproven and could surprise or someone who is experienced but who stats wise might not look prolific.
A host of championship clubs will be after Chris Martin I certainly would not turn my nose up at him at all.

Absolute tripe, scored didn’t he but his big toe was offside.The other night by the 3 Rangers centre halves
He was a good 3/4 yards offside let’s be honestAbsolute tripe, scored didn’t he but his big toe was offside.
More tripe, Didn’t see a 9/12 foot gap between him and defenders anyway what’s it matter he got on the end of some neat play and didn’t miss.He was a good 3/4 yards offside let’s be honest
Plenty of games last season did you watch many ?Bullied when?
